Most of these downsides are installation issues. But what are the feature downsides?

I already have Krayzie's ndure 1.1 installed with a 200 gig hard drive, dual boot for Live, and XBMC as the dash. What can a hardmod do that my box can't?

Uh, just small things, like integrated FTP, the boot screen nonsense, and other crap.

Feature set wise, there's not much distinction between the two at this point.

once a softmod is loaded it is in exactly the same state as a hardmod when it's loaded. And for the record. Both the dual boot or coldbooting can be used for going live. They serve the same purpose. A dualboot just looks a bit cooler.

ok it seems like people almost got off topic for a second but the main downside i found is that sonetines you cant play ms games....remember this is only in like 1/10 softmods but games i know that you have probs with is halo 1 & 2, fight night, and amped...other than that softmods are ok....maybe you wont have any probs but if you do i dont know if theres a fix or not......so keep that in mind and with halo the french version works......so i hope this helps you out....honestly a duox2 chis is like $14.75 from SICKdemensions and you'll pay that for the game, memory card, action replay, + more....Action replay is nice to have anyway though....so the decision is up to you if your up to installing a modchip...

I have Halo 1 & 2, and Amped, backed up on my HDD and they run just fine with NDURE. I suspect joseph420 has a bad copy of the data files, or an out of date softmod.

Every game I own works perfectly from the HDD under the softmod, and I've not seen anyone reporting problems with specific games before.

Joseph is stating something wrong. I've played and beaten Halo 2, both on and off a softmod. Also played Halo 1 on a softmod. Who cares about Amped when there's SSX Tricky out?

There are no games that won't run on a softmod and do on a hardmod. If this is the case it just means something is wrong or out of date.
